I am not ruling it out; you must be joking. I want to get as much as possible. However, some applications will not be valid; that is the work that is under way at the moment. With some of the regional applications, the officials will determine whether they are regional. Some of them are highly likely not to be classed as regional at the end of the day. There are some very creative examples. We will see. Many clubs have gone top level simply because the last time a lot of clubs got the full 100%. If they do not get the full 100%, it may not be the worst thing in the world for some of them. We are trying our best to meet those expectations. We are up against the demands of the health sector, schools, transport and all of that. We are making a very strong case. We had a very good meeting with the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, and those discussions will continue.
